About this book
Principles of Anatomy and Physiology 16th edition by Gerard J. Tortora and Bryan H. Derrickson explains how human body structures are organized and how physiological processes work together to maintain normal function. The text integrates anatomy with physiology at every level, from cells and tissues to organs and organ systems, making it especially useful for students who need to connect structural details with mechanisms such as muscle contraction, nerve signaling, circulation, respiration, digestion, and hormonal regulation.
The 16th edition covers chemical organization, cellular structure and metabolism, tissues, the integumentary system, bones and joints, skeletal muscle, nervous system organization, special senses, endocrine regulation, blood, cardiovascular physiology, lymphatic and immune function, respiration, digestion, metabolism, urinary physiology, fluid and electrolyte balance, reproduction, development, and inheritance. Homeostatic relationships are emphasized throughout so students can see how changes in one system affect other parts of the body.
This book is especially useful for Anatomy and Physiology Students, Nursing Students, Pre Nursing Students, Allied Health Students, Exercise Science Students, Kinesiology Students, Physical Therapy Students, Occupational Therapy Students, Medical Assistant Students, and other health science learners completing a full human anatomy and physiology sequence. It is particularly helpful for laboratory preparation, system based exams, physiology problem solving, and courses that require detailed understanding of both structure and function.
Nursing students, allied health students, preprofessional health students, exercise science students, and anatomy and physiology trainees can use this edition to review body systems, trace physiological pathways, connect microscopic structure with organ function, and prepare for cumulative examinations. The complete 16th edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access, making it convenient for coursework, laboratory study, exam preparation, and quick reference across chapters.
